Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity?! I had no idea -__-
Everyone knows that, yet nobody cares. It's such an inculcated tradition at this point it would take the entire nation being atheist for the next 100 years for Christmas to ever go away or be acknowledged as something else.
People like baked ham, apple pie, presents and Christmas music WAY too much to ever give a shit lol. I personally don't really celebrate but I do enjoy the season. We will have egg nog and pie that month. And Christmas music is awesome.
I don't know...I like it.

I talked to some (real) sheep today. They nodded and listened patiently and the wisdom shining through their eyes made me understand that I need to buy a new jacket.
That blizzcon thing was absolutely harmless. I hate it when my fellow homosexuals get up in arms over little things like that. It's like black people being mad at rappers for saying the n word. Waste of time and effort.

Yeah, it's become a consumer-holiday and it's frankly disgusting. I don't have an agenda against fun religiously-affiliated holidays, but the ammount of greed and waste associated with christmas is just destructive.

Yep, fat americans love to gorge on tons of food while the less fortunate starve and freeze to death in the mid-winter chill. I tend to spend most of the winter months working with local charities, shelters, and try to convince others to help. Avoiding the shopping district is also top priority when December rolls around.
Those damn fat Americans! Lol...When people label things in the manner you just did gives me the best laughs.
Those stupid fucking republicans!
Godamn those liberal hippies!
This is clearly better than that. And chocolate is clearly better than Nutella.

As an American, I reserve the right to lampoon my own nationality. I'd also urge you to convince me that christmas time is anything but over-spending on food and various other carnal and consumer pleasures these days. I've spent decades watching it get worse and worse. In-fact the ammount of people volunteering to help us at the shelters and soup kitchens during Nov-Jan is nearly 1/3 what it was a decade ago. Meanwhile, the mall parking lots look just as full, despite the economy being off-kilter.
I understand people wanting to celebrate, but if it's going to be a ritual of pure excess we might as well call a spade a spade.
I never said Christmas time is anything more than that. As I said, I don't actually celebrate the holiday. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness so while I am not one of them, I still tend to not celebrate holidays for the most part.
However with that being said, I do enjoy the season. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I live in Florida. Christmas, I think, has a different meaning here. Well, maybe not so much a different meaning. Maybe more of an association. Here, Christmas is associated with a break(however brief) from the heat.
So, when I start to see Egg Nog on the shelves, Frank Sinatra on the radio singing about Rudolf, and the smell of cinnamon and apples everywhere, I know that it's the time of year when Floridians are most happy lol.
Seriously, around the winter holidays, Floridians are so damn happy. The humidity and strength of the sun constantly beating down on us is rather taxing.
Maybe in other states weather is small talk. But in Florida around winter time all anybody wants to say is "How 'bout this weather, huh?!"
And let's be honest, Florida has the greatest Christmas weather of all time. The cold is nothing more than a relief here. It doesn't symbolize any dreary snow storms or iced over roads.
While Christmas might be a gross holiday and all that jazz, here in Florida during that time, people seem genuinely more happy. I know I am.
Also, since I work at Universal, visiting Islands of Adventure during the festive season is also really cool.
Again, I don't celebrate the holiday. But I do certainly enjoy the season.
@Apples- I know. I was just making a reference. I'll take Nutella any day.

umpa, u live in probably the top 3 of crappiest places in FL. so xmas is all youve really got
Hmm? Top 3 crapppiest places in FL or US? Either way it doesn't really make too much sense from my perspective. In terms of cities in Florida, I enjoy where I reside. In terms of U.S., I would certainly like to live somewhere else. However I definitely wouldn't say it's top 3 of the worst of the worst lol.

My favourite one is, "If you don't like gay people you're secretly gay".
That one is true though.
All racists are secretly black.
One of these things is physically possible, the other one isn't.
Good try though.
Both are equally ridiculous. But going by your logic how's this one, everyone who disagrees with bestiality actually likes having sex with animals.
No, it's you who is being ridiculous. You are taking a simple joke way too far.
If you don't like cookies, you secretly like cookies<--- Now try to derive a 'logic' from this and apply it to increasingly retarded examples.
You are masking your dislike for gays pretty badly.

So you lose the argument and then all of a sudden you're just joking? Sure. Next time don't spout nonsense and we won't have a problem.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.
I suggest you guys stop ruining this wonderful thread with your bickering.

Remember the String of Ears
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
IMO Christmas is just returning to what it previously was about! During Saturnalia the Romans would gorge themselves on food and drink as well, and give presents to young boys in exchange for... well... you know.
Anyways though I enjoy eating until I pass out at least one day a year, and I can say it doesn't go to waste, we have ham sandwiches and ham for breakfast until it's all gone. Sure it's an over indulgence but what the hell.
As for it being called Christmas, I couldn't care if it was called Brutalanalsexmas, food and presents man.
That blizzcon thing was absolutely harmless. I hate it when my fellow homosexuals get up in arms over little things like that. It's like black people being mad at rappers for saying the n word. Waste of time and effort.
Right? It seems to take the steam out of real concerns. Instead of being outraged at a guy nerd raging in a video the outrage would be better aimed at getting gay marriage legalized, which I'm all for.
